Tom--
I have a Nikon LS4000ED which I believe has technology equivalent to
the 8000. I've been scanning Kodachromes almost exclusively. I get
good color by scanning with Nikon color management off, then applying
a custom ICC profile to the scan. I often find myself using the
individual analog
I too am used to older Nikon scanners and combining
multiple scans at different exposures. I have been
using the Minolta for about a month, and have not as
yet found an image which is beyond the usable dynamic
range of the scanner in a single scan. My images are
mostly Velvia, Astia and Pan-F so
